Not every module found on CPAN will have a copy installable using PPM.   PPM's are created by ActiveState when the module uses XS code (C) or references system DLLs.   Even then they may not stay totally current or may not do special-interest modules.   Sometimes other repositories may be able to fill in gaps but even then only when the modules require non-Perl code.

You should get used to installing plain Perl modules from CPAN.   It's really not that hard.   There are tutorials here [id://node=Tutorials#cpanmods] and elsewhere.   The link to nmake in tachyon's article A Guide to Installing Modules is even current!
